Improve your LinkedIn - Part3


YOUR BEST PROFILE PICTURE #2

5 tips to look amazing!

Attitude&Assumptions

People will draw a picture of you unconsciously by what they feel from your image. Make sure to communicate something personal of you: a warm smile, a youthful attitude, a pleasant look..

Professional attire

Think about the perception you want to reflect. Either friendly but professional as part of the Gen-Y, or serious and sharp..  it is your image, part of your brand. Not only the conventional suit&tie will suit you. Think about your dream job and dress for your first day.

Background

It can be whether a texture, for an emotional impression (look here for the meaning of colours) to show your true color^^; or, an environment, like having the logo of your company behind you to communicate a strong corporate spirit.

Interesting angle

It's not the formal one required on your passport! As I said, you're communicating a visual identity. Find the right angle to offer an insight of your personality.

Motion

Conveying an impression of movement will reflect a more natural and sincere behaviour and will tell much more than the classical static one.

Even if that can seem to be superficial, don't overlook the power of visual identification! That will, at least, show that you made this extra effort and that you consider others.
